3 Money-Making Profit Centers
You want to make sure to take advantage of all money-generating opportunities available to you through FedEx — especially with the changes to the FedEx Authorized ShipCenter® (FASC) rates and tiers that went into effect last November. When you add these to your portfolio of services, customers will associate your pack-and-ship store with quality customer service and easy, no-hassle shipping. This kind of reputation will help you earn more repeat and loyal customers, and a bigger bottom line.
FedEx Bonus Weight Envelope
Customers needing to ship a large quantity of documents (approximately 135 sheets of 8.5" x 11" paper) or lightweight items can take advantage of the great prices you get with the FedEx Bonus Weight Envelope. Plus, you earn a 10% discount off shipments using this option.
As part of your FASC Agreement, your store is automatically qualified to ship items or documents weighing up to 1.5 lbs. in a FedEx® Envelope and pay only the 8-oz. rate. That means your customers can get great cost savings they can’t access anywhere else without having their own prequalified account. No special packaging is needed, and there are no additional charges. It’s an easy way for you to earn money for your store and great savings for your customers.
Any of these services are available for shipping the FedEx Bonus Weight Envelope:1
- FedEx First Overnight®
- FedEx Priority Overnight®
- FedEx Standard Overnight®
- FedEx International First® (outbound only)
- FedEx International Priority® (outbound only)
Your customers will also appreciate the maximum declared values for the FedEx Bonus Weight Envelope — up to $500 domestically and $100 internationally.
For more details, refer to the Program Benefits page on the FASC Network. Order your preferred FedEx Envelope (part numbers 155475 and 155476) today.

FedEx Home Delivery®
FedEx Ground is likely one of the standard shipping options you offer your customers. But are you aware of the convenient residential delivery options available through FedEx Home Delivery? It’s a service provided through the FedEx Ground network, so your customers benefit with the same fast service at an economical price. Customers especially appreciate the delivery schedule of Monday–Saturday, with evenings available as an option for an additional fee.
It’s easy to see how your customers will benefit. As an FASC participant, you’ll benefit from the discount you get for each shipment. The pricing change from November 2018 calculates your discount using a higher base rate — 25% for packages up to 25 lbs. and 37% for packages 26–151 lbs. — plus your earned discount rate.
To sell FedEx Home Delivery to your customers, you can tell them it’s:
- Fast. Shipments within the contiguous U.S. are delivered within 1–5 business days, and to Alaska and Hawaii within 3–7 business days, based on the distance to the destination. To view specific origin-to-destination information for FedEx Home Delivery shipments from your ZIP code, go to fedex.com/maps.
- Convenient. We deliver Monday–Saturday, 9 a.m.–8 p.m. And because Saturday is a standard delivery day where available, there's no additional charge.
- Accommodating. Your customers can specify the day and time range they want their package delivered — even in the evenings or on Saturdays. Visit the FedEx Home Delivery page for details on the convenient delivery options.
- Reliable. Like FedEx Ground, FedEx Home Delivery is supported by our money-back guarantee.3
Also, let your residential customers know they can take more control of their home deliveries with FedEx Delivery Manager®. It’s free to sign up, and they’ll receive notifications when a package is on its way so they can manage the delivery to fit their schedule.
